Home Sweet home.

There is something that just feels good when your house smells good, isn't there? Sometimes it gives us that nostalgic feeling that reminds us of a holiday, or a happy time in our child hood. And we all love when someone comes over and comments about how good our house smells. It instills a sense of ownership pride. But really, over all, it just makes the home feel even more enjoyable when there is a sweet aroma in the air. I get to have that almost daily due to all of the baking I do, and so I wanted to be able to share some easy and quick ways that you all can have the same thing...with out having to bake cookies and breads and cupcakes.
Enjoy!

Orange peels & Vanilla extract:

If you want your house to smell heavenly, boil some orange peels with a 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon on medium heat for about 10 minutes, and enjoy the sweet aroma of some southern hospitality.

Heat a little Vanilla up on your light bulbs:

Put a dab of vanilla extract on light bulbs when the lights are off. Once the lights are turned on, the bulb will heat up the extract and emit a yummy smell. What a quick trick for when guests are coming over, huh?

Make your own Lemon Potpourri :

Fill water to about 1 inch below the rim in you pot, place it on the stove and simmer on low heat. This has an awesome scent!

Recommended amounts:

1 – 2 sliced up lemons:
2 – 3 sprigs of fresh rosemary
1 – 2 teaspoons vanilla

Coffee beans paired with a Vanilla candle:

Coffee lovers will love this one! Simply place a vanilla scented candle in a secure (and safe) place in the middle of a good amount of coffee beans and enjoy the scent you'll get as the candle warms up the beans...simply delicious!

Look for more home recipes as I come across them and share!

To a happy home...with a sweet scent!!

Living in Panama means living in the heat, which is why in my house we are always sipping on something nice and cold. From smoothies to lemonade to good ol' tang and as of now, some sweet tea.

I know many of you have your own fabulous recipes but here is a nice quick basic one for those of you whom might not have ever made your own, Sweet Tea!

Need:
Pinch of baking soda
2 cups of boiling water
6 tea bags (you can do flavored tea bags if desired)
6 cups cool water
1 cup to 1/2 cups white sugar ( according to your desired sweetness)

To Make:
1. Sprinkle a pinch of baking soda into a 64-ounce, heat-proof, glass pitcher. Pour in boiling water, and add tea bags. Cover, and allow to steep for 15 minutes.
